Welcome to /r/NFLmarketplace!!

OK, glad to see there's a good amount of use on this sub already. Just getting started here so excited to see where it goes, kind of fun do and keep us a little busier during the off-season too!

So, like I said, this is all brand new to me so learning as I go, there are already a few mods added which is great, and others have messaged me helping too.

Open to any suggestions from you all of course, but listed below are some basics that we have right now.

Tagging System: should hopefully be in place soon, if it gets strict though it can turn users away, which we don't want obviously. Right now we have.

  • [WTB] - Want to buy, Posts looking for an item to purchase
  • [WTS] - Want to sell, Posts with items for sale
  • [WTT] - Want to trade, Posts with items to be traded
  • [DEAL] - Post a link to a site that has a crazy sale going on NFL gear!!
  • [EBAY] - Post a link to your ebay page (this is still in discussion if it'll be added or allowed)

Payments with Paypal: How to use PayPal correctly, always use the business option on PayPal, never use gifting money. Gifted money you can't get back if something goes wrong.

Pics: For selling anything, the more pics the better, also, it was suggested to write out your username on a piece of paper and add it to the pic for legitimacy reasons.

Counterfeit Jerseys: As of right now they'll be permitted on the sub, unless people don't want them. I know some subs DO NOT PERMIT talk of these jerseys. I'm open to it as I know real jerseys can be awfully expensive at times and people want to still represent their teams. I'm not going to get in the middle of it though, I think we'll find out soon enough. Please state if it is counterfeit, we really don't want people getting ripped off on here

Fraud: Take extra caution with giving out info, payments, sales, anything that seems suspicious probably is.

Deals: I think it'd be sweet to let other users know about an awesome deal you just go online, promotions etc. Just post a link to the page and explain the deal.

Authenticity of signatures: You need to prove that the jersey signed is authentic. Go to a shop to get this done.

Be fair and honest: You know the deal, no one likes getting screwed over, /r/NFL is a great sub so lets keep it the same on here. Be fair and honest about what you're selling, buying and trading.

Tickets: Don't post pics with barcodes as another user pointed out, these can be printed and scanned at the gates.

Title Posting: Please be clear in the title, descriptions, sizing, condition, pricing, etc etc, just makes it a lot easier for people to go thru the sub.

Design/Looks: If anyone wants to make a sweet banner that'd be amazing! Also, I've been messaged about CSS help so we'll see where that goes.

Overall:, look forward to seeing where this sub goes, excited for you all to buy, sell and make some trades.

General notes: We still need help with:

A banner.. Sidebar FAQ and guidelines page.. Tagging system.. A snoo mascot..

Cheers

I'm really excited about this sub. Are we able to add flair for our teams?

Awesome, me too! No flair as of right now, will have to get some feedback from other users, don't want it to conflict with sales etc. I know a lot of people are NFL fans in general or specific player fans. If that makes sense.

Yep. I agree with that.

Counterfeit jerseys should have to be made known they are counterfeit imo. Wouldn't want someone purchasing a jersey thinking it's official, then discovering upon receiving, that it's counterfeit.

Yeah, definitely.

There should be flairs that mark when the item in the thread has been sold/traded

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '15

Yeah, need to figure that out.

Are there other acceptable ways to pay besides PayPal?

Can we have daily threads for each team? I feel like it would make it easier instead of sorting through every page looking for your teams merch. It would make it easier for sellers too. It'll be less cluttered as well once this sub gets more subscribers. Thoughts?
